A new public AGOL application is available from the Yukon organization. The Topographic maps application allows the general public to easily find and download National Topographic System (NTS) maps for viewing, downloading, and printing in the Yukon.

There is a known issue with ArcGIS Pro when opening project which contain connections to the CSW made using ArcGIS Desktop layerfiles.

Description:

When ArcGIS Pro project containing CSW layerfiles (i.e. from here \\cswprod\layerfiles\) is saved and reopened, all CSWPROD data connections made using a layerfile will be broken and appear with red exclamation marks. The user is not prompted for a login.

Temporary workaround:

Start a new ArcGIS Pro project, and add the layerfiles you need from here \\cswprod\layerfiles\ using your CSW login.

In the Catalog in ArcGIS Pro, right click Databases and choose “New Database Connection”

A 150 centimetre elevation raster of the of Kaskawulsh Glacier in Kluane National Park is now available in the Yukon government Elevation image service.

This elevation raster represents a digital surface model, and was generated using 50 centimetre 2017 stereo satellite imagery. This service can be viewed in any Yukon Government Web Mapping Applications such as GeoYukon using the Elevation layer, or by connecting directly to the Satellites_HighResolution image service using the url: http://mapservices.gov.yk.ca/arcgis/rest/services/ in an Open Geospatial Consortium compliant GIS software client such as ArcGIS or Q-GIS.

For Yukon government employees: this elevation raster can be viewed internally using the Elevation layerfile available internally here: \\CSWPROD\Layerfiles\Elevation\

This dataset currently identifies wetlands in the Indian River valley.

CryoGeographic Consulting, in association with Palmer Environmental Consulting Group Inc., provided Yukon Energy, Mines and Resources and Yukon Environment with the results of the mapping and classification of wetlands and adjacent upland habitat in the Indian River valley and its major tributaries. This report and its accompanying map set have been updated to reflect study area expansion and additional field reconnaissance completed in the summer of 2017. Interpretation of shallow water wetlands within disturbed landscapes was completed by Ducks Unlimited Canada and incorporated.

If you have any questions about the content of this dataset, please contact elc@gov.yk.ca

The acquirer script which downloads a weekly extract from Natural Resources Canada servers did not properly execute on Saturday Oct 27. This will result in Yukon data extracted from Natural Resources Canada being out of sync.

Acquirers will run this Saturday Nov 3 as scheduled. Data should be updated accordingly after November 27.
